amazing opportunities await for those ready to jump in - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso SHADOW

Great work environment, everyone is fun to be around and produces 10/10 work

The work is for sure a grind, but as is with all PR agencies

Mainly remote, supposed to go in one day a week but no one really enforces it.

If you are someone who doesn’t care about having a life outside of work or who wants to make your job your entire personality, you’ll probably do fine here. For anyone else, I would not recommend. As many others have said here, SHADOW very much feels like a cult. Case in point, one of the founders goes by “Papa Shadow” on the company-wide Slack – yes, really. It is like a “family” – if your family was dysfunctional, toxic and verbally abusive. One of their supposed core company values is “use your voice,” however, that didn’t seem to apply to the many employees who raised concerns about the SHADOW-led Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle and Matt Rife x ELF campaigns before they launched. Those same employees were then forced to lead a company-wide “what went wrong” seminar while the executives who had actually made those decisions sat back silently. The agency environment will never be easy, but this was one of the worst and most hypocritical I have encountered in my career. I wish I had paid more attention to some of the red flags in the interview process, but I truly felt it couldn’t be worse than some of the other agencies out there. Sadly, I was wrong.
